Chapter 17 017 Finding the Root of the Problem
White smoke curled gracefully from the bronze incense burner, and a delicate orchid fragrance then began to waft in all directions.
Ye Pianran was very familiar with this smell; she didn't know when it started, but this scent often wafted through her mother's room. So much so that she forgot that incense is one of the easiest things to tamper with!
However, until bedtime, neither she nor Ling Shu Ling Yi showed any signs of poisoning, which disappointed Ye Pianran once again.
Perhaps she was mistaken. The other maids could smell the incense burning in her mother's room, but no one else seemed to be acting strangely. So the problem might not be with the incense.
The only option now is to look for other clues.
In the following days, Ye Pianran continued to feed the rabbit water mixed with medicine, and kept the calming incense burning, but to no avail. Just when she was about to throw the two things away in utter despair, the rabbit in the cage finally began to show unusual behavior.
"Miss, look at these two rabbits, they look so listless, are they sick?" Ling Shu held up the dying rabbit in her hands, her face full of heartache. She had grown attached to these two little creatures after raising them for a few days.
Ye Pianran suddenly stood up, leaned forward to examine the two rabbits closely, and asked, "How has the rabbit's appetite been these past few days? Has it been very sleepy?"
Ling Shu nodded and said, "Yes, she's eating less and less..." Startled, she widened her eyes: "Miss!"
Ye Pianran nodded, clenching her fists: "That's right, these are Mother's symptoms!"
Lingyi put down what she was doing and rushed over. When she saw the two rabbits, she felt a chill in her heart: "Miss was right, there really is a problem with Madam! But the problem is not just with the prescription or the incense, but with both of them combined to be effective!"
"Miss diluted the medicine with water before feeding it, but the rabbit died after only a few days. Madam, on the other hand, has been using medicine for three years! Who would do this to our Madam—" Ling Shu said angrily, but suddenly noticed that Ye Pianran in front of her was already in tears. She fell silent and called out worriedly, "Miss…"
"I won't let anything happen to Mother, I definitely won't!" Ye Pianran gritted her teeth and reached out to Ling Shu, "Give me the rabbit."
Lingyi reluctantly handed the rabbit to her and asked, "Miss, what do you want to do?"
"I want to save them!" Ye Pianran said, her eyes bloodshot.
Lingyi and Lingshu exchanged a glance, both delighted: "Miss has come up with a solution?"
“That’s right. If this method can save these two rabbits, then I will have a way to save my mother!” Ye Pianran took a deep breath, her tone more determined and resolute than ever before.
From that day on, Ye Pianran stopped using the calming incense in the house and stopped feeding the rabbit water mixed with medicine. She tried raising the rabbit in the spiritual realm that only she could enter, and planted some rabbit grass in the soil of the spiritual realm before going to sleep.
That blessed land was indeed miraculous. When she woke up the next day and entered the spiritual realm to check on the two rabbits, she found that not only were they alive and well, but the seeds she had planted the day before had already sprouted into a lush green meadow.
The rabbits ate grass grown in the spiritual soil and drank water from the spiritual spring. In just three days, they completely recovered their former lively and energetic selves, and their bodies visibly became two sizes rounder. The two white balls of flesh frolicked happily among the green grass, having a wonderful time!
Only after confirming that the rabbits had fully recovered did Ye Pianran release them from the spiritual realm again. Upon seeing the two rabbits brimming with spiritual energy, Ling Shu and Ling Yi both let out an incredulous exclamation.
"Miss, where exactly did you keep the rabbits? They're growing even better than before!"
The rabbit's transformation was more than just a surprise to Ye Pianran. She suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said with her beautiful, watery eyes, "It's being kept in a place that only I know about."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's use this method to cure Madam's illness!" Ling Shu said excitedly.
"No rush, I have something else to do," Ye Pianran said. She walked to the desk, picked up her pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to Ling Shu.
"Ling Shu, go to the Prime Minister's residence immediately and give this letter to Doctor Mo."
"Yes." Ling Shu took the letter, turned around, and walked out quickly.
Ye Pianran put on a soft, smoky-colored brocade cloak, her gaze becoming deep and unfathomable: "Lingyi, prepare the carriage, let's go for a walk outside the manor."
